I have finally caught up on the processing of the images I have taken recently (apart of the ones taken at work over the last few weeks) so here are a few more images of a local Barn Owl.
This Gull was harassing the Barn Owl.

It was even harassed by a Magpie.
Just back from holiday so trying to catch up. If I can I will try to do a relatively local Blog in-dispersed with a holiday Blog. Anyway, at the end of last month my wife and I had a trip down to St Aidan’s just outside of Leeds. The birds were great and so was the weather although this time we unfortunately didn’t see Bittern (we did however hear a few) or Black-necked Grebe it was still a great day out though.
Loads of Sedge Warblers were singing in the reeds.

First, thanks to CB for finding me in another hide then putting me onto my second ever Jack Snipe. It was then seen by a few other delighted birders. It proved to be a cracking morning out with some great birds seen including Iceland Gull and Russian White-fronted Goose among other things.

Iceland Gull.
A couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls took exception
to it being there
And chased it off.
It soon came back.

I saw only one Avocet while I was there.
However, I could not count the number of Shelduck,
they were everywhere.
